Nimitz Class is a naval thriller published in 1997 by British novelist Patrick Robinson.

[1][2][3] It is the first book in the series which features admiral Arnold Morgan and Ben Adnam.

It is stylistically similar to Tom Clancy, particularly The Hunt for Red October.

In May 2002, a nuclear torpedo attack occurs on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Thomas Jefferson, destroying it.

The hunt for the Kilo results in the sinking of the Ayatollah of Iran's submarines by a Navy SEAL raid, an underwater transit through the Bosporus, and an underwater battle near the Falklands.
